Hubli: Karnataka Chief Minister S M Krishna said here on November 26 that the
government was making sincere efforts to secure the release of former Minister H
Nagappa from forest brigand Veerappan.
The government has decided to explore all possible steps including withdrawal of all
cases against jailed Tamil activist Kollathur Mani for Nagappa's release, he told
reporters.
On the boundary dispute between Karnataka and Maharashtra, he said, Mahajan
Commission's report on the issue should be implemented in toto.
In case Maharashtra moves the Supreme Court on the issue, "We will also approach the
apex court and present our stand and plead that the four decade-old dispute be
resolved by the implementation of Mahajan Commission's report," he added.
